## Summary

The public procurement contracting process for the 'Makaton Health Care Specific Package' was successfully completed, with the award given to Makaton Charity by Health Education England. The contract value is £45,000 GBP. The procurement stage was initiated as a tender, with the tender period ending on 8th March 2023. The contract period will run from 31st March 2023 to 31st March 2024. The industry category is 'Education and training services', and the location is Leeds, United Kingdom.

This specific tender for health and social care training presents business growth opportunities for organisations specializing in communication training services. Suitable companies should possess expertise in non-verbal communication skills training and have experience catering to individuals with specific communication needs. As the contract is already awarded, businesses interested in similar opportunities should monitor future tenders from Health Education England to explore further growth prospects in the education and training sector.

## Notice

Across health and social care training, knowledge and understanding of communication is a fundamental part of the curricula and takes a variety of forms, depending upon the type of training. For the most part, the focus is upon teaching students in relation to conventional verbal and non-verbal communication, which invariably consists of being taught active listening, utilising empathy and being able to recognise basic non-verbal communication. However, feedback from students as well as from people with lived experience, highlights that there is still a lack of training in relation to the use of specific non-verbal communication skills. For people with specific communication needs or those who are non-verbal, it is essential that health and social care professionals develop the necessary skills to be able to engage with and communicate with people.
